i would like to hear some of yinz thoughts on what coaching vacancies are likely to pop up at the end of this season? Off the top of my head I can't think of many big schools, i know there likely will be some just can't think of them. I'd like to know who we will possibly be competing with?

In the SEC all i can think of is Tenn possibly and Old Piss. We won't have to compete with Old piss for a coach, but Tenn maybe. Auburn and Arkansas I think will do well enough to keep their coaches around. All the other big jobs in the conference have coaches that are relatively new, or ones that are established. Florida maybe if they have a terrible year, but mcelwain is still newish. plus he's finished first in the east both seasons he's been there, and won their bowl game last year, so he's probably good.

nationally it seems like Notre Dame might need a new coach if kelly has a bad year, and even the miracle win against the ags won't keep Mora from getting fired by UCLA when he racks up loses with his average, at best, squad....but i still think ags might be more attractive than ucla. But other than them I'm not sure of any big time jobs possibly opening up.

it seems like it will be an easier go of it this year finding a good coach and not having to compete with other big programs.

American Conference

SMU (Chad Morris will be snatched up by someone)

ACC

Boston College (if Addazio has a bad year)
UNC (Fedora is not off to a good start)
NC State (same with Doeren)

Big 12

Texas Tech (Kingsbury is on his last year)
West Virginia (Holgorsen was almost fired last year)

Independents

Notre Dame (Kelly is out if he has another season like last year)

Mountain West

UNLV (that loss to Howard when you are a 45-point favorite is unforgivable)

PAC 12

Arizona (Rich Rod is on the hot seat)
Arizona State (Graham should have been gone last year)
Colorado (McIntyre will take a better job)
UCLA (Not making a bowl this year. Mora's win Sunday only postponed the inevitable)

SEC

Ole Miss (Luke is the interim)
Tennessee
Texas A&M (DUH)

In my opinion, Tennessee, Auburn, Arkansas, UCLA, Notre Dame are the big schools that may be in the market. I'm not sure if Oklahoma made Lincoln Riley the full time HC, bit they could also be in the market if he melts.

Smaller schools that we can outbid and may be in the market are Arizona, Arizona State, Texas Tech, Ole Miss, Missouri, and Kentucky.
